European illustrated shirt ironing sequence
Ironing a shirt — Step 2: sleeves and cuffs
Align the sleeve seams before applying the iron, then open the cuffs and work around the buttons. Correct positioning prevents double creases and twisted sleeves.
Align and iron the sleeves
Lay one sleeve flat and align the seams from the cuff toward the armhole. Smooth the fabric with your hand, then iron using long, controlled movements. Turn the sleeve and repeat when necessary.
A deliberate sleeve crease is a style choice. When you do not want one, reposition the sleeve and iron the curved area in sections.
Open and iron the cuffs
Open the cuff completely. Iron the inside first and then the outside if the care label permits it. Use the tip of the iron around the buttons and avoid pressing directly on them.
- Keep the cuff edge straight and free from folds.
- Do not stretch the buttonholes.
- Repeat the process on the second sleeve and cuff.
Check symmetry
Place the sleeves beside one another and confirm that they have been treated in the same way. The cuffs should lie flat and the sleeve seams should remain aligned.
